Marty joins the Nova party

After an on-air trial, Marty Sheargold is now officially part of Nova 106.9's breakfast team, joining Tim Blackwell and Meshel Laurie, and replacing Ash Bradnam. His bio is on Nova's website here. It's interesting, given the reasons for Bradnam's departure, that Sheargold is described as a "beer drinker". And is Sheargold's obsessive interest in sport a sign that Nova is chasing more male listeners?
